With the original wrappers & all plates, plus a postage receipt for this title...



Item # 701589

November 01, 1862

PETERSON'S MAGAZINE, Philadelphia, November, 1862  Although not an uncommon title, this item is doubly interesting. This issue was never bound nor trimmed, as more typically found, still having the original outer wrappers and still having the eleven full page plates of fashions of the day and other items. One of the prints is hand-colored.
The other interesting item is the receipt for postage for Peterson's Magazine, for the quarter ending Sep, 39m 1862, being 50 cents, which is attached to the front cover. Rare to find postal receipts for mailing of newspapers or magazines, and this one is specific to this title.
The issue is complete with all pages & plates, measuring 6 1/2 by 10 inches, expected wear at the margins, nice condition. The receipt measures 1 3/4 by 7 inches. 

Item from last month's catalog - #359 released for October, 2025
